Is this bad puckering?

Hey guys,

I’m very new to this, and this is my first attempt. Ignore the issues on the left, that’s a previous botched attempt.

I’m wondering if the hoop tension looks good enough.

Also the back seems a bit problematic. Any suggestions?

I botched this embroidery job, suggestions welcome

The thread got tangled up when my machine was going to work. Already bought a new sweatshirt to remake the piece for a friend.

Any ideas about how I could maybe patch over it or up-cycle? Feels like kind of bad placement too.

I hate to not use it at all, but there is a small hole where I’ve tried to remove “student” and I’m tired of trying to seam rip this out!

Finding Quality Designs

Hi fellow embroidery addicts 😊. This is my first post so if I mess up please give me advice. I’m a retired home deco embroiderer, sewer, artists, quilter. I love creating with my Bernina embroidery machine (very nice), Embrilliance, and my Brother Dream Machine (sewing/quilting only). I don’t digitize. I’m starting to get more than a little frustrated with the amount of time I spend in Embrilliance cleaning up the digitizers designs that I buy. I like working with CAD programs but… How do you pick a good designer/digitizer. I literally spent days cleaning up this horse and this is not the first time. After 2 days of this I am finally able to put the throw pillow together. Any words of wisdom from y’all is really appreciated.

How can I make this better

It looks like the fabric is going to pucker or warp and the lines are sort of off. I’m using a brother se1900, hatch digitizer (no auto digitize) and denim with one sheet of cut away. It also looks like it’s skipping lines. I’m at a loss.

I will not that I may have not hooped it mega tight because when I do that the fabric definitely warps and puckers.

Bragging about this weeks projects

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on projects for my bachelorette trip favors and desperately want to show someone 😂 I’m trying to keep everything a surprise from my guests, so sharing here instead! I’m so happy with how this stitched out. Took about 10 hours total for everything, which honestly feels pretty fast! Just had to share with people who get it 😊

Outer stitching wonky

I used cotton, water soluble stabilizer on top in the hoop and digitized it through Inkscape. The Inkscape file looks like. What did I do wrong here?

Brother PR1050X

I've recently started thinking about embroidery machines and I am seriously considering buying one and starting to work with it. So, I saw this model it has 289 hours of use for 8600$ cad, is it worth it to get it at this price? From my research I learned that this machine and brand is very good but I would like to hear what your opinions are about it? What should I check if I go see it? I already do designs and use print-on-demand websites with Etsy

Machine won't read new files

I'm using Hatch 3 to make designs for an Elna Expressive 970. My flash drive is formatted correctly and has the right file structure and I've run dozens of JEF file designs on it with no problem, but the new design I'm trying to run won't show up on the machine. I made sure the file name doesn't have anything but letters in it. This is the first time I've tried running anything on the largest hoop, up until now I've only used the medium sized hoop. I've got the correct one selected in Hatch and the design fits well within the red box. I also changed the green hatched work area to be large enough for the design to fit inside but smaller than the hoop box. I also centered the design in the frame and rearranged my objects so that it starts on one near the center. Can anybody tell me what's going wrong? I can only find endless advice for if none of your files show up, nothing about only one of them.

Husqvarna 500e question

I'm looking at cheap embroidery machines, mine was stolen a while back. This popped on my fb marketplace. They said embroidery files are transferred by usb. I'm reading about difficulty using this machine due to compatibility with newer windows. So is it worth it to buy the machine? If i did, how would I transfer embroidery files? (looking for people who know how to do it/have done it, not Google answers here)

Thanks!

Given machine, don’t know where to start

Hi everyone,

I recently received a free embroidery machine through a family member that was moving and no longer had the space for it/wanted it. It is a Brother Luminare xp3 which I can tell from looking it up is a very very nice sewing machine. Unfortunately I have been terrified to touch it as I am so scared of breaking it somehow. I’ve sewed before on a regular machine (literally a hello kitty machine I got when I was like 9) but other than that I have an unfortunate amount of machine sewing knowledge. Does anyone have any tips for starting out? I feel super clueless and I don’t want to waste this awesome machine I have in my house now. I would love to figure out how to make embroidered pictures to hang up as decoration, patches for clothes, or personalized items. Maybe Etsy will be in my far future. Any YouTube or book recommendations would be much appreciated, as well as personal ones!
